As best shown -in'F igures 3,:4-and 5,-`the' blower head or body portiony 18 is formed with a plurality of longitudinally spaced radiali ly extending 'walls 81,` adjacent wallsmthus forming cleaning fluid, conducting passages dsuch fluid from the inlet extending longitudinallyfof `the bodyl por.Y tion. As shown in the drawings, sixv of these passages .have beenprovided' andv respec..

tively designated by reference charactersiM", M2, M3, M4, M5 and Me'and their outerends form ports. These passages are of a tortuous character Vand may be formed in concentric spirals longitudinally of the blowerhead'184v lN', N2, N3, N4, N5 and'N6V are cleaningflu'id discharge nozzles respectively Vcommunicatingwith the passagesM7zM-9', M3, M4., Maand Mthe nozzles v`being directed for discharg' Vinggets ofk cleaningv fluid towardV the* tubes sheet13 and boiler tubes 14,'the nozzles varying in angularitywith respectvto the axis :of Y

order to provide an inclosure radiallyofthe spiral passages, a sleeve 32 'is'provided which in assembling thev blower head may be moved intothe' position 'showninFigure 1' by slide ing the same lon-gitudinallyof the blower head in `contact with the outer extremities of lthe walls 31.", ,Y

As thefadjacentpassage lv/ 5 is brought .jto register with port 27 by rotation of the -blmver-head 18=the corresponding nozzle 'N5 Vwillb'e directedtoward the tube sheet 13 and V will-dischargev a jet of cleaning fluid at an angle varying 'slightly withthe angle of distheport 27 and the supply of cleaning-fluid charge of thenozzle N4. yThe latter nozzle will then have its'passage/M4 rotated beyond f' will in this mannerbe cut off. By varying the; circumferential length ofthe port 27 any numberfof the nozzles may-be supplied with cleaning Vfluid from passage '26 at the-same f )time and in thissame manner the sweep A.of

f the cleaning fiuidjets maybe readily determined. As the"ipassagesv are rotated out' Aofgitn'dinally `outwardly von the blower head registration with lthe port 27 they are successively' brought into registration 'with theport30, thus admitting the cooling fluidfrom f the inlet 28. The cooling fluid will be con-. '.'ducted ,through the passages and will be discharged from the respective nozzlesthus serving to maintain the passages and nozzles at a` relati'velyflow temperature.4

- The' rod 20 ma`y be` provided with an aXialjV `bore 38 terminating rearwardly in a nipple 39, the latter passingoutwardly through a I suitableopening in the worm casing 34. `Threaded on thismpple 1s a lubricant containing cup 40, the latter being` liXedto the ynipple 39by a setscrew 41.` 42 is a cap forv the cup 4() permitting replenis'hing of the latter with a suitable lubricant. 43 is a pist0n4 fitting :closely-Vin the cup 40 and providedgwith a threaded rod 44 integral therewith. This rod is formed with a T-'head' 45 )which -operates in fthel guidesf46` for1ned in reasjon ofthe T-headf45 and threaded connection 50 between thejrod 44 vand cover 427; will i from the nozbe fed axially and inwardly of the cup 40 to force the lubricant from the cup into the passage 38. The rod 44 isA provided with an unthreaded portion 51 of relatively small diameter so that the rod 44 will free itself .fromengagernent withtheY cover '-42 as the piston 43 approaches the bottom of the cup 40. From the passage 38 the lubricant may be distributedthrough the; radialpassages '52 for lubricating the `bearing between the portion 22 of the casing land the rod 2O. 53 is a passage for conducting lubricant from the passage 38 to the anti-friction thrust bearing 37. In order to supply lubricant to the bearing 24 between the blower head 18 and the annular shoulder' 23, the mainlubricant supplyH passage 38 is Vprovided with Va'radially extending'passage for supplying lubricant `to the passage'QGat a point adjacentthe port 27. The passage of the cleaning lfluid along "passage @Gand through'portf27 will piclr up the'ilubricant from passage A54 and conduct the same to the bearing'24. A

" In this manner lubricant is supplied to any desired point, thesupply being automatically controlled and fed byoperation of the boiler Referring to Figures 7, 8 and 9, aslightly *modified construction*of'boiler cleaner is shown in 'which 'the rodA 2O is provided with apiston 55 operablein a cylinder 56.' 57 is a conduit for supplying cleaning fluid from "the-inlet Q5 to actv `on the `piston 55 whenever the cleaning fluid is being:v supplied to lthe blower head. Thus,` the blower head isfbalanced with respect to forces acting longitudinally ofthe blower head since the thrust'lonthe-blower' head against longitudinal thrusts.

The thrust bearing 37 shown in Figure 7 may be entirely dispensed )with in this construction, but may be provided for action in' the event of failure of the'piston 55. The lubricant cup 40 may be associated' with this modified form of blower element by extending the lubricant conduit through the piston 53 and the chamber56 as' clearly shown in Figure 9 of the drawings.

In' both ofthe boiler cleaner constructions shown in Figures 1 and 7 the' discharge of cleaning fluid from the nozzles will result in aV reaction force which may be resolved into two components, 'one longitudinal'4 of the blower head and the Vother transverse there- Y of. The reaction component.wh'ich'acts longitudinally of the blower head'may be 'balanced'byV the piston 55 asshow'n inhFigure 7, or absorbed by the thrustjbearings 37 'as yshown in Figures-1 and 7. Referring to Figure 7, I haveillustrated the other olf-theseV components, namely, the reaction component which acts transversely off the longitudinal axis of the yblower head by reference characf terR., Since the blower head 18 hasits bearing at 24, the moment acting on the blower head by reason of the force R may be represented by R V D. The blower head illus-l trated in Figures 1 and 7 is adapted to be. balanced against this moment by reason of v"having a cleaning fluid inlet and av cleaning lfluid supply port, a blower headv having a the force of the cleaning fluid entering the spiral passages'from theport 27, this force acting longitudinally of the blower head be-y ing represented by F. The force Fis determined bythe product of the cleaning fluid pressure times the area ofthe port 27, .the pressure against areal of the Vport 27 being effective because of the fact that the passages are not extended in a straight line longitudif nally of the blowerV head, but are arranged tortuously or spirally as shown in the draw- Y ings.` Thus the blower `head is sub]ected vto a momentV by reason of the forceF, this momentbeing represented by F X L (in which `Lis the distance ofthe point V of application of force F to the center of movements) which acts in opposition to the moment R X D and to substantially counter balance this moment. Thus by properly proportioning theseaparts the blower head. may be balanced against forces acting transversely of the blower head., f
